Which generation are you from?

the true GenXer test would be if you know what "alt.amazon-women.admirers" is

We do, and the .binaries sub

actually it was amazon-women.admirers that led me to thevalkyrie and a few of the other classic websites

Geriatric Millennial. I fantasized about impossibly strong women at the age of five. In terms of physique, I'm still partial to the athletic look, but will go for size monsters and petite, non-muscular women. Anna Kendrick, who I think is hot, has said she possesses "the upper body strength of a dying moth."

Gen X. Saw a contest on OTA TV about '86-'87 and of course WPW and bb mags. Hooked ever since.

Old. Fell in love with Rachel McLish and Carla Dunlap at the beginning of it all.

Interesting so many Zoomers though I shouldn't be surprised. I'm Gen X. I love how there is so much more community of female muscle fans. Growing up I thought I was a weirdo (maybe I am) for liking these women. Saw Raye Hollitt on American Gladiators and on an ad videotape rental for Skin Deep and I was hooked. Would wake up early to watch female bodybuilding shows on MSG.

Yeah.. I concur, online networking has been rewarding for female muscle fans. Being a female muscle fan was a very isolated experience before the internet. You could pick up a couple magazines a year, maybe see a show or two annually if you lived in/near NYC or LA.. order a couple videos from magazine ads.. but that was basically it. There was virtually zero fellow fan interaction. I made a couple pen pals back in the day, but.. just doing that required printing your own 'zines or talking up other fans & competitors at shows.. which could mean significant travel. I attended a couple Extravaganza after parties, but u had to pay for that.. internet networking has been much more convenient, encouraging, & effective.

My opinion, most times internet relationships are lamer than real life, but not with muscle fandom.

Millennial, first discovered massive fbbs via the TV at 13! Remember the old days of 90s fbb pages! A lot more content now and a lot more fbbs!

'88 and Zap from American Gladiators popped my cherry.

I can't believe I forgot to reference AMERICAN GLADIATORS! Zap, Ice, Siren, and Diamond made me feel strange but not altogether unpleasant sensations at the sight of FBBs.

For real, I'm a zoomer too and I really thought I was the minority rather than the plurality. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised; I once told my friends about my taste in women and they didn't even jokingly call me gay, just kinda shrugged and said whatever. I guess liking some muscle on women (to a certain degree, at least) is totally kosher nowadays.

Gen Z I’ve been on this site since my sophomore year of high school which is scary to think about.

I don’t tend to be vocal about my attraction not out of fear of being called “gay” but more so out of fear of being called a “gooner” tbh.
